In this great city, you don't hear church bells ring
Everybody dances, but nobody sings
And in the winter, there's never snow on the round
As I look out my window at the rivers of black
I wanna get out on the at highway and never come back
I set and wonder, has it all passed me by
Islands in the sky

Skyscraper temples way above the clouds
And a streetcorner preacher, shoutin' out loud
Nobody listens, and nobody cares
But everybody needs a dream
Everybody needs and island in the sky

Chorus:
Islands in the sky, Islands in the sky
Make a young boy's dreams, make an old man cry
Islands in the sky, Islands in the sky

(Repeat Chorus)

Someday I'll be there, I just don't know when
It's so far away now, but it won't be then
I don't know, I don't know
But everybody needs a dream
Everybody needs and island in the sky

(Repeat Chorus)
